In continuing actions against Gurmeet Ram Rahim and his bastion Dera Sacha Sauda, the Haryana government, acting on the orders of the Punjab and Haryana High Court, has frozen its 90 bank accounts in Sirsa.

The exact balance of all 90 accounts is not known, but nearly Rs 68 crore was found cumulatively in three Dera bank accounts. (The bank accounts in question here are all under the name of the Dera trust.)

In another development, Dera Chairperson Vipassana Insan and the in-charge of the Panchkula Dera (Nam Charcha Ghar) Dr PR Nain are in the docks again for their conflicting statements regarding the violence that ensued in Panchkula after Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh's sentencing.

According to the police, Vipassana and Nain will be interrogated again and if their testimonies regarding the alleged conspired unrest in the state post Gurmeet's sentencing do not match, they'll be arrested.

On Tuesday night, the Panchkula Dera in-charge failed to reasonably answer the questions raised by the SIT in a three-hour-long cross examination. Nain has now sought some more time to appear before the investigating team on health grounds.

"Dr PR Nain was issued a notice and was asked to join the investigation. We cross-checked the statements given by Vipassana Insan and Dr PR Nain which are conflicting. The police is not satisfied with the answers. They will be quizzed again," SIT chief Kuldeep Singh said.

The SIT has also recovered Rs 25 lakh from the Panchkula Dera in-charge.

BURIED SKELETONS

Reiterating earlier claims that there are mass graves inside the Dera complex, in yet another admission on Tuesday night Nain said that saplings were planted on the graves on the advice of a German scientist.

He said if scavenged, the officials will find at least 600 skeletons buried there.
